Taylor was my trainer for my VCP classduring my first year at VMware. I am highly skeptical of instructor-led training... probably because I spent a good deal of time as a trainer myself for Microsoft and Citrix technologies. I don't give praise often or easily for other trainers, but I not only enjoyed my class with Taylor, but learned a great deal. He has an excellent knack for keeping the class moving as well as keeping the students interested. We managed to not only cover the required content, but also cover several ancillary topics that were highly helpful. I would be happy to take a class from Taylor again anytime.

Taylor exemplifies professionalism and teamwork. Taylor is a team player that is always willing to offer input to improve processes and solutions. He is willing to go the extra mile to get things done.

Taylor's passion for his work led him to be one of the most successful, popular instructors I worked with at VeriSign. He was instrumental in maintaining courseware for one of our most popular classes,and created one of our best classes! His work as on security assessments was always outstanding.

I worked with Taylor for about two years. He was the lead Sales Engineer for the South East Region that I supported in Channel Business Development as well as end user business development. He was always extremly knowledgable about not only the Caymas Technology but also competitiors and did a great job of relating to a customers particular enviroment. He was always straight forward and honest in what our capabilities were and were not. After several calls, I would get feedback from the customer and the partners that Taylor really knew his "stuff" and they appreciated his candor. Overall He was definately an asset to Caymas while he was here. If I was building an SE Team I would definately hire Taylor.

Taylor is an exceptional engineer. I have seen him grow through the years and would hire him again. He has a keen eye for the creative, the absurd, and the technical. Give him a problem and he will solve it. Give him a challenge, and he will overcome it. Give him a cigarette and he will smoke it. There are few "A" players in the world. and you've just found one.
